Life — September 28, 1928 — page 7: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
The page features a photograph captioned "Past! It's three-two in the sixth—favor the Yanks!" showing five figures in what appears to be a formal or theatrical setting. The caption references baseball scoring (3-2 in the sixth inning) and favors "the Yanks"—the New York Yankees. The image likely satirizes either a baseball game, sports betting, or gambling culture of the era. The formal dress and indoor setting suggest this may be parodying high-society interest in baseball or illegal gambling operations disguised as respectable venues. Below the image, the page includes unrelated articles on National Parks and Football Coaching tips, suggesting this is a typical miscellaneous content page from Life's satirical humor sections. Without additional context about the publication date, the specific identities of the figures remain unclear.

“Psst! I National Parks A wationat park is a place where tourists sit up so late every night talking about the perfectly glorious sunrises over the mountains that they never get up carly enough to see them. Several national parks are equipped with geysers; others have porcelain drink- ing fountains, and a few merely serve §rapefruit for breakfast every morning. City prices prevail at most of the park three-two in the inns. Dinner will cost you no more than at your favorite night club. ‘ou will find the park zoo of interest. The eagle perches up in a dark corner where he can’t be seen, and the wildcat always is asleep in his box. There are dances every evening. ‘They start as soon as the high-salaried college boys in the orchestra get through their chores in the cafeteria. Saddle horses and guides are available during the summer. The horses know the th—favor tha Yanks!” shortest trails back to camp, but the guides can tell some awfully good jokes about the people they had out last week. High-gear highways lead into many arks now; you can always reach them in second or low, barring bad weather. C.]. Foorsau: acH (to team, just before the big game): Now, play hard, boys.
